Cheers, thats kinda what I thought. I just find it interesting to understand if there is a 'club vision', are we trying to implement similar styles/philosophy throughout the club allowing players to integrate easier etc, or is it a complete change of direction with Unsworth coming in, even if it is only on an interim basis at the moment.

He seems to play 4231 a lot, whether that's cos that's what the first has played for a few seasons or not is anyone's guess

Thank you for the valuable insight into his style and capabilities, I feel truly enlightened!!

Reading the article on him the other week, he's known for studying the opponents and formulating a plan to beat them and working on the plan all week. His team play high tempo and press. He's got to be given a chance and I think he'll surprise us.

Kendall and Dalglish - both player-managers. Back when clubs just got on with it without so much fucking drama and microscopes!

Now, imagine one of our older heads - Rooney, Jagielka, Baines - just being asked the question! Baines would probably have a panic attack and soil himself on the spot, Jagielka would talk himself out of it - fast - and, Rooney would probably think it was a good idea, but, he'd develop a stutter mid-"errrrrm", having second thoughts as the press went neanderthal.

This is modern football. Massive babies and egos everywhere. Not just players either, as we've just experienced.

So yeah, leaning towards keeping it in the family myself.

Here's our man:

I'd be more inclined to ask Jimmy Martin the secret of eternal youth - the man hasn't changed in the 30 years I've been watching us

I think Dyche would be a really parochial, boring, mediocre appointment. He's done pretty well but ultimately managers have their methods and those methods only take them so far. Dyche's dare I say negative football is good for a team hoping to stay in the league but he'd never in a million years take us in to the top six.

We need the next Pochettino: some young up-and-coming manager with a fresh approach who no fucker's heard of to get closer to our rivals. Dunno who that is mind.
